Music is music in any language

We were invited by a Czech mom to join her daughter, Sabrina, this Friday morning at a music class for kids. It was a big step for us because, besides the fact that the class was in Czech, I didn't stay with Lydia in the class. Alone with the teacher in a sea of Czech kids, I wasn't sure how she'd react. She did great! Although she didn't participate much, preferring to stand in the background and just observe the commotion. But I really can't blame her... I'm not sure I would know how to react to "Hokey Pokey" in Czech!

When I asked her what she likes better: Czech music with Sabrina or Czech excercise class with Sophie, she said she wanted to go to the exercise class. I'm not sure how much I should bank on her response though. Afterall, this is the same girl whose "favorite" color just happens to be the same color as her shirt on that particular day... She's a little chameleon, that Lydia.

Still, I was pleasantly surprised at her willingness to stay without me. It especially gives me confidence since she'll be starting preschool a few mornings a week in April. And it's an English-speaking preschool... should be a cakewalk for Little Miss Lydia!
